Quick Answer

The New Idea line of manure spreaders are tractor-towed trailers that facilitate the spreading of manure on a field as fertilizer. Each spreader has a rotating mechanism at its rear powered by the tractor's accessory drive. They are marketed and sold by the farm equipment conglomerate AGCO, as of 2016.

Allied Products formerly owned the New Idea equipment brand, but in the 1980s Allied Products purchased White Farm Equipment Line and formed White-New Idea. Former Allis-Chalmers executives formed AGCO in 1990, and the company quickly bought several smaller farm equipment lines including White-New Idea. AGCO-New Idea manure spreaders are still sold at many farm equipment supply locations and are frequently seen in auctions and online sales.
